Trump just admitted to attempted blackmail.
The White House apparently called Joe three times with an offer to spike the National Enquirer story if Joe would call the President to apologize for the Morning Joe coverage. Joe refused.
So why didn’t Joe and Mika report on this attempted blackmail scheme when it was happening?
What else is going unreported?
Yikes! Remember the good old days when LBJ rued that when he lost Walter Cronkite because of Vietnam he had lost the country? That’s when America was great.
Our GOP politics are now so debased that when Trump loses JoeMika, he’s clearly lost his mind. Now it’s an America that grates.
“What is wrong with you?” All sorts of things that we didn’t understand why you weren’t pointing them out for the better part of a year Joe. Don’t pretend you are not complicit in this.
Amazing stuff… definitely bright shiny objects meant to distract.
One question: is it possible to have records that “prove” you haven’t spoken to someone? Quit while you’re ahead, Joe.
Josh has been doing some great writing about Trump and his targeting of the press. Really adds perspective to what we see happening in real time. I agree w many commenters about how Joe and Mika carried Tsar Trump during the election. With that, it is kind of amazing to see Joe hit back. Slightly OT, I’m about as boring a 50 year old can be, but Buzzfeed has really been putting out some solid articles. Have to link this one, it’s solid. By the way I took the last quiz on Buzzfeed, and my pizza choices are similar to Beyonce’s…who knew?
Liar, liar, administration on fire!!
I’m still pretty damn annoyed that the Steele Dossier was kept under wraps until after the election.
Maybe instead of watching an insipid talk show every morning the President could, I don’t know, do his fucking job?
He’s already proven he can’t.
You can’t prove it unequivocally, but if he only used his cell to speak to PP in the past, the absence of a call to or from PP, would be reflected in his phone records.
Joe—name names, show the texts…why would you protect these staffers? Let’s get it out.
Every day, more evidence of a very sick man in our WH. And yet, the Repubs turn and look the other way.
I think he is that 400 lb guy sitting in a basement on the internet all the time that he frequently talks about. That’s who’s running the country.
Good question!
The press consistently fails to out anonymous sources that burn them with false information. If a source is going to ask to remain anonymous, then the information they provide has to be true. If an anonymous source knowingly and deliberately passes on false information, then they should be outed.
…suggesting there is an even greater sickness at work than the one plaguing the WH.
A 70 year old with a young mind, like about 13.
Republicans courted people with minds like this for years and then those folks elected someone with the same mind set.
There are very few humans that can be insulted by Trump simply because he is one of the lowest forms of life on this planet.
Funny he chose to deny their National Enquirer story but not their accusation that he’s certifiably mentally ill…
